Read my biography.
Gradient Lair is 100% reader funded; no ad revenue or mainstream support. Readers make it possible. Though the blog has ended as of October 2015, my work is accessed, read and referenced regularly. Support the use of years of work.
You can still support 3.5 years of existing work that is still accessed and referenced daily.
Final essay here: Farewell. Visit thetrudz.com, Patreon, or Cinemacked for my current writing.
Even as Black girls and Black women from young to old are erased from history, as both supporters of justice for Black people and as ones who also experience State violence, Black girls and Black women, young to old, regularly show up. Always have. No matter what lie anyone tells you whether on Twitter or in textbooks.
